Judenrein. Painting

Die deutsche Frage. Die europäische Frage. Die BBC Frage. Endgültige Lösung. Vielen Dank. Brother-in-law of one of my sitters was prisoner (survived as an interpreter) at Auschwitz. Was witness, was forced to witness (emasculation), murder of Jewish Ballerina Franceska Manheimer-Rosenberg, aka Franceska Mann, by Germans. You wouldn't want to know. Judenrein. Richard Friedlander, now there's an admirable name. A decorated WW1 veteran Jewish German (then) soldier. Richard put up against a wall and shot dead in Dachau, by Germans, 1936. Whilst whole rest of world was doing Olympics down the road. And teaching world to sing no doubt. Predictable coincidences 36 years latter. You wouldn't want to know. Judenrein. (Louis Friedlander, now there's an admirable name, Manchester lad, a British Jewish soldier, killed in action, St. Quentin area, France, 1918. In fight against... Before intersected feminista, nationalista, ignorantista prejudices me, again.). Adolph Friedlander. Sorry about first name. Died a young hero's death thousands of miles from Germany where, he had no place and future. You wouldn't want to know. Judenrein. Not forgetting Otto Friedlander. Hauptmann. Die Fliegertruppen des deutschen Kaiserreiches. Judenrein. In contrast, not that it made any difference, Wilhelm Friedlander ex. Berlin, ex. London, (a fine European City now I am told), transported convict to Botany Bay Australia, about 1852. (Hi Jane, coincidence and g'day). Judenrein. A little girl. Betrayed. Judenrein. Though trying to be creative; carefully trying not to diverge from reality. Could have done. For example I did give her lips an upward tilt one side, down ward other. Muted and unsaturated colour. Original grainy photo' had an obliging smile-for-the-camera, a hint of buck teeth. I suggest I have projected dignity and fathomless sadness onto this portrait. My own emotion probably. Sorry, but that's it.
